Alexander Vindman: 本人认为，特朗普政府的对外交往政策对美国及其盟友构成了严重的威胁。特朗普对普京的屈从以及他对国际联盟和条约的漠视，使得美国在国际舞台上的地位日益削弱，并为其战略对手创造了可乘之机。在俄乌战争问题上，特朗普未能有效地阻止冲突，反而通过与普京的私下会晤，间接地纵容了普京的侵略行径。此外，特朗普政府对伊朗和中国的强硬姿态并不一致，这使得美国在国际社会中的信誉受到损害。总而言之，特朗普政府的对外交往政策，是短视的、不一致的，并且对美国的国家安全利益构成了严重的威胁。相比之下，哈里斯副总统则代表着一种更加稳定和可靠的领导方式。她拥有丰富的国际经验，并且在处理国际事务时，能够始终坚持美国的价值观和利益。哈里斯政府将致力于重建美国与盟友之间的信任，并通过多边主义的方式，来应对全球挑战。哈里斯政府将采取更加强硬的立场来应对来自俄罗斯、伊朗和中国的威胁，同时也会更加重视与盟友的合作。 Rick Wilson: 特朗普的总统任期对美国及其盟友构成了严重的威胁。他与普京的密切关系，以及他对国际联盟和条约的漠视，使得美国在国际社会中的地位日益削弱。在俄乌战争问题上，特朗普未能有效地阻止冲突，反而通过与普京的私下会晤，间接地纵容了普京的侵略行径。此外，特朗普政府对伊朗和中国的强硬姿态并不一致，这使得美国在国际社会中的信誉受到损害。总而言之，特朗普政府的对外交往政策，是短视的、不一致的，并且对美国的国家安全利益构成了严重的威胁。相比之下，哈里斯副总统则代表着一种更加稳定和可靠的领导方式。她拥有丰富的国际经验，并且在处理国际事务时，能够始终坚持美国的价值观和利益。哈里斯政府将致力于重建美国与盟友之间的信任，并通过多边主义的方式，来应对全球挑战。哈里斯政府将采取更加强硬的立场来应对来自俄罗斯、伊朗和中国的威胁，同时也会更加重视与盟友的合作。
